Chapter 149 - 150: Going for a Home Visit
Tang Guoguo’s matter made Song Qingyou want to visit him.
If the father and daughter did not want to appear in front of the camera, she would have to leave the production team behind…
It was useless to think too much now. Song Qingyou made a plan and looked at the class schedule.
Yesterday afternoon was mainly for math and literacy classes.
Today, it was mainly painting and piano.
These two courses weren’t difficult for Song Qingyou.
Because she had drawn cartoon characters for all the children in the class, the children were closer to her.
Taking advantage of the painting class, she also praised a few children in the class who didn’t like to talk.
Especially Tang Guoguo, Song Qingyou hoped she could build up her confidence.
All the teachers in the kindergarten knew that Tang Guoguo had wet her bed, but they had to deal with the aftermath, so it was inevitable that they would complain in private. Song Qingyou couldn’t blame these people from the standpoint of a temporary teacher, so she could only try and help Tang Guoguo develop some confidence so that she wouldn’t be affected too much later.
In the afternoon, piano class.
It was called piano class, but it was actually music class because the kindergarten did not have the conditions to equip every child with a piano.
Because they had seen that Teacher Youzi could do anything, the group of children began to cheer for the teacher to perform first.
Song Qingyou felt that a five-year-old child probably wouldn’t understand any sentimental music, so she played the song “Dancing Wild Bee.”
Before the children could react, they saw Song Qingyou’s fingers flying over the black and white keys, her hand speed almost leaving afterimages!
In just a few seconds, the song was finished.
Not to mention the dumbfounded children, even the program team’s staff members were dumbfounded.
They never expected Song Qingyou to be so good at playing the piano!
“So fast!”
Yingying took the lead in clapping.
Song Qingyou stood up with a smile.
Seeing Tang Guoguo, who was sitting at the back, raise her head and stare at the piano, she couldn’t help but ask, “Does anyone want to go on stage and try? You can play anything.”
“Me!”
Yingying raised her hand.
She went on stage and played “Twinkle Star.”
It was simple and pleasant to listen to, but it also received applause.
After that, a few more children went on stage.
When no one else raised their hands, Song Qingyou looked at Tang Guoguo.
“Guoguo, do you want to come up and try?”
Seeing so many people turn their heads to look at her, Guoguo seemed very hesitant. Sweat broke out on her forehead.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to play. Teacher can help.”
“Everyone, give Guoguo some encouragement, okay?”
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Guoguo still went up.
“Has Guoguo played the piano before?”
Tang Guoguo shook her head. “No.”
Song Qingyou knew that the child had been staring at the piano, so she thought that she liked to play the piano. She didn’t expect that she had never played the piano before.
“Then I’ll play with you, okay?”
Tang Guoguo tugged at the corner of her shirt. After a long while, she whispered, “Teacher, can I…can I try it myself?”
“Of course.” Song Qingyou smiled.
“Guoguo has the courage to try. She’s really good. Isn’t that right, everyone?”
“Yes!”
Tang Guoguo blushed when she was pulled to the piano.
“Let’s begin,” Song Qingyou gave her an encouraging look.
It was already not easy for an introverted girl to be willing to go on stage.
Even if it was just to try out the sound of the piano, she would have to praise it later.
Song Qingyou suddenly heard a familiar melody.
It was Fur Elise!
The gentle tune was like a gentle breeze.
The classroom was completely silent.
Good music could resonate with people who didn’t understand it.
Even though Tang Guoguo didn’t play smoothly, she didn’t get a single note wrong!
The little girl, who was originally very nervous, played the piano with extra seriousness.
Was this really her first time playing the piano?
There was no need for a child to lie. Song Qingyou was surprised.
When the song ended, the children’s spontaneous applause brought Song Qingyou back to reality.
“Can Guoguo read music scores?” She squatted down.
Tang Guoguo shook her head.
“Then how do you know how to play this?”
“Eve seen it on TV a few times,” Tang Guoguo replied, biting her lower lip.
“You saw it on TV and remembered it?” Song Qingyou was a little surprised.
“Yes.”
Song Qingyou didn’t have much talent in music. She had stumbled when she first learned the piano, and it took a long time for her to reach her current professional level.
But Tang Guoguo was different. If what she said was true, then she must be very talented in music!
Of course, the most important thing now was for the little girl to build up her confidence.
Song Qingyou turned to look at everyone.
“Guoguo is especially powerful, right?”
“Yes!”
The sound was much louder than before.
It seemed like they all agreed.
“Everyone performed very well today.”
As soon as the piano lesson ended, more and more people went to play with Tang Guoguo.
Song Qingyou was happy to see this happen.
In the afternoon.
The director was a little surprised to hear that Song Qingyou was going for a home visit.
She was just saying it yesterday. How did Song Qingyou decide so quickly?
She wasn’t sure if she had said something wrong.
“Actually, I was just casually saying that you were free to visit yesterday. I didn’t mean to force it…”
As a kindergarten teacher, there were very few times when she visited her parents.
“I have something to talk to Tang Guoguo’s family about. Please help me call her father.”
“Alright.”
The director paused for a moment. “But her father might not let the production team film him. Your home visit can only be done after work…”
“That’s alright.”
Song Qingyou’s face was serious, and the director couldn’t refuse.
Fortunately, Tang Guoguo’s father didn’t have any objections. When he heard that the teacher would be coming after school, he even said that he would go home early today.
His reaction was within Song Qingyou’s expectations.
After all, Tang Guoguo seemed to like her father very much. Her father should usually care about her.
At 4:30 pm, the kindergarten ended.
Song Qingyou had already asked the director to talk to Tang Guoguo’s father and let her send Tang Guoguo back.
An adult and a child were walking on the road, preparing to take the bus.
Song Qingyou wore a mask and held a child in her hand. With the program team watching, there would be no worries from the media or paparazzi.
On the bus, Song Qingyou asked in a low voice, “What does Guoguo’s father do for a living?”
“Daddy can do anything.” Guoguo said in admiration.
Song Qingyou guessed that the other party had some problem with his legs and might have to take on odd jobs, but she couldn’t tell children about this.
“Guoguo’s father is so awesome.”
“Yes!”
Song Qingyou didn’t expect Tang Guoguo to live so far away from the kindergarten.
She checked her location via GPS, looked it up and found a few simple kindergarten facilities nearby
After getting out of the car, she asked curiously,
“Teacher saw a kindergarten nearby. Why didn’t Guoguo go to a kindergarten near her house?”
“Daddy said it’s not good here.”
Tang Guoguo shook her head as she spoke, expressing her confusion.
Song Qingyou understood that Tang Guoguo’s father wanted her daughter to have a better school environment, even if it was just kindergarten.
When the two arrived at the entrance of the tube-shaped apartment where the Tang family lived, Song Qingyou gestured for the production team to wait outside.
Even if they didn’t go in to film, they could guess the family situation of the father and daughter by just taking a few photos of the surrounding environment..
